My library will happily buy books that I want if not in stock so in theory I should not have to buy a single book this year.<br /><br />I would have to make Sta Valentine cry and will keep that in mind when emailing &quot;I have thought of a wonderful present for me&quot; type messages to Mr B! :)Petahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269614153944571970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758360158028227865.post-78872850196689345572011-02-17T21:01:42.772+00:002011-02-17T21:01:42.772+00:00Oh good, because the past almost two months have b...Oh good, because the past almost two months have been ok, but I feel myself weakening as some of the YA book prizes are getting announced.<br /><br />I think the library is fine, maybe for readalongs you&#39;ve planned to join in with (that is my plan anyway)but things like Bookmooch aren&#39;t. Presents are totally fine in my view and it is rude to turn them down (ahhh justifications), but forced presents make St Valentine cry, probably and so are forbidden as you&#39;ve rightly said.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462660276240016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758360158028227865.post-44256384541644197862011-02-17T18:23:26.926+00:002011-02-17T18:23:26.926+00:00I&#39;m coming to the same conclusion re: my own a...I&#39;m coming to the same conclusion re: my own acquisitions habit. I&#39;m lucky to live somewhere where the library doesn&#39;t even charge for holds, so I have no excuse really! Although I&#39;m currently divided between supporting the library and concentrating on my tbr pile a little more.Nymethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758360158028227865.post-3545207303819769562011-02-16T11:29:51.084+00:002011-02-16T11:29:51.084+00:00Yay for solidarity!

Really should have joined in with your efforts two months ago but I just couldn&#39;t bring myself to! So weak. To clarify:<br /><br />- legitimately already placed pre-orders don&#39;t count (and I am very glad that they don&#39;t) <br />- Books bought as genuine gifts are OK - as long as we don&#39;t read them first!<br />- Is using the library for &quot;in an emergency&quot; borrowing also acceptable? I know it doesn&#39;t reduce the stack but at least it&#39;s not adding...?<br />- How do you feel about books received as gifts? And I define &quot;gifts&quot; as not books that I have made my husband buy me from our joint account...<br /><br />I feel like I should make a set of achievement badges saying &quot;It&#39;s been one month since I bought a book&quot;, etc! :)Petahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269614153944571970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758360158028227865.post-83589265604479309522011-02-16T10:40:23.617+00:002011-02-16T10:40:23.617+00:00Existing pre-orders are fine!

I have to believe this, because I have 3 coming to me despite being on a ban for the past two months and like you I can&#39;t possibly cancel them. And books for others don&#39;t count either (as long as you don&#39;t read them before handing them over).<br /><br />Huzzah you can do it I know you can. I will even extend my ban form March until June in solidarity if you like (really could do with making it longer). We will escape the fear of falling piles crushing us!Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462660276240016464noreply@blogger.com
